As part of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, launched in November 1995, the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria (PDRA) and the European Union (EU) signed an Association Agreement (AA) which entered into force on 1 September 2005.

The AA, in particular through its article 52 devoted to the environment, states that: "…The parties favour the cooperation in the field of the fight against the worsening of the environment, the control of the pollution and the rational use of natural resources, with a view to ensuring sustainable development and quality of the environment and the protection of human health. The cooperation is focused in particular on (in italics: the important points in the context of the present twinning):

- issues related to desertification;

- the rational management of water resources;

- salinisation;

- the impact of agriculture on the quality of soil and water;

- the appropriate use of energy and transport;

- the impact of industrial development on the environment in general and the safety of industrial installations in particular;

- waste management and particularly toxic waste;

- integrated management of sensitive areas;

- control and prevention of urban, industrial and marine pollution;

- the use of advanced environmental management and monitoring instruments, including the use of information systems, including statistics, on the environment;

- technical assistance, in particular for the preservation of biodiversity.

In addition, Article 58 of the AA, on agriculture and fisheries, provides that the objective of the cooperation shall be the modernisation and restructuring, where necessary, of the agriculture, forestry and fishing sectors. It will be particularly oriented towards:

- support for policies aimed at developing and diversifying production;

- integrated rural development, including the improvement of basic services and the development of associated economic activities;

- the promotion of environmentally friendly farming and fishing;

- technical assistance and training;

- the harmonization of phytosanitary and veterinary standards and controls;

- cooperation between rural areas, exchange of experience and know-how in rural development.

� The SNAT (National Scheme of Territorial Planning):

The development, in 2000, of the SNAT, is a national stake because it integrates the ecological question in its continental and territorial dimension and applies the strategy of the National Action Plan for the Environment and for Sustainable Development (PNAE-DD).

Geological and climatic conditions combine to make Algeria a "land at risk". Out of fourteen major risks identified by the UN, around ten concern Algeria: earthquakes and geological risks, climate risks and floods, radiological and nuclear risks, forest fires, industrial and energy risks, risks to human, animal and plant health, atmospheric, telluric, marine and water pollution, disasters due to major human aggregations. In front of these risks, the preservation and enhancement of ecosystems is an absolute necessity.

Biodiversity and ecosystems: Algeria is characterized by a great physiognomic diversity, consisting of the following natural elements: the coastline, the many plains close to the coast, the mountains of the Tell Atlas, the high steppe plains, the mountains of the Saharan Atlas, the large sandy formations, the Sahara uplands and highlands ... They constitute, by their diversity and their richness, reserves of biodiversity and landscapes of quality.

Fauna, in particular, represents a large part of the animal species of the Mediterranean basin, in addition to the representative species of the African zone.

The flora, with more than 3000 species counted, including many endemic, are of economic and social importance, especially for rural populations still heavily dependent on natural resources: medicinal plants, aromatic, as condiment, industrial, fruit, vegetable and fodder .

These species are adapted to specific edapho-climatic conditions and have a high resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses.

The existence of 8 national parks, 7 biosphere reserves, 1 natural reserve, 4 hunting reserves ... offers significant conservation potential on more than 22% of the national territory.

However, these ecosystems are threatened by the rapid changes in the country's population and economy: urbanisation and development of human activities in rural areas are putting pressure on natural resources, although often associated with the abandonment of age-old practices of maintaining spaces.

The protection and enhancement of the environments of the national space respond as much to economic considerations as to the need to provide present and future populations with a quality of life and preserved natural heritage.

The Territorial Action Programme (PAT No. 2), a component of the SNAT, aims at soil conservation and fight against desertification. It is based on the development of a National Scheme for Soil Conservation and Desertification Control designed through a study of the relationship between natural resource productivity, rural exodus and poverty. The PAT aims to develop and enhance mountain and forest areas through the extension of forest areas over an area of more than 1 M hectares by 2030. It also includes multi sector implementation of the Plan of Action. National Action to Combat Desertification (PAN-LCD). In particular, the resumption of the "green dam" concerns a series of agro-sylvan-pastoral rehabilitation actions, including one of the objectives and to improve the living conditions of the populations in the arid zones.

Agricultural and Rural Renewal Policy (PRAR):

The Agricultural and Rural Renewal Policy (PRAR), launched in 2008, focuses on national food security and revitalisation of rural areas, focusing primarily on areas where production conditions are the most difficult (mountains, steppes, Saharan borders) and with as a priority, capacity building and technical support to producers. The five-year plan 2015-2019 focuses in particular on the preservation of natural resources, with people's involvement in the implementation of development projects.

� The Forestry sector Strategy 2035 :

Developed in 2016, the new forestry sector strategy draws up an inventory of the forest heritage and flora and fauna biodiversity as well as the constraints related to its preservation and development. The diagnosis reveals the problems facing the forestry sector, the main ones being of a technical and financial nature, but also of institutional and inadequate training and research.

The new approach is to integrate the value of goods and services into the national economy, complementing the traditional value of wood, cork, hunting and other non-timber products, whose value chain must be increased, if not preserved. In a long-term vision, it sets quantified objectives for the main areas of intervention, and necessary prerequisites for management, decentralization, budget system reform, development of intervention capacities of the forestry administration particularly in terms of national and international partnerships.

The National Forest Strategy, 2035, takes into account elements of regional context, such as:

- the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);

- FAO guidance via the Forestry Committee / Regional Forestry Commission for the Near East;

- the Regional Commission for Forests and Wildlife in Africa;

- the Committee on Mediterranean Forestry Questions Silva Mediterranea.

3.2. ONGOING REFORMS

The specific objective of this twinning is to strengthen the organisational and operational capacities of the Directorate General of Forests (DGF) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries (MADRP) of the Republic of Algeria.

The DGF and its decentralized services represent a specialized body of about 7,000 agents, with a strong internal culture, in charge of a long-term general interest mission on the conservation and management of the national forest heritage. In addition to the economic products it generates (wood, cork, NTFP ...), this heritage plays a key role in conserving forest ecosystems and providing ecosystem services to the desert doors - water regulation, soil protection, carbon storage among other all cycles at the base of crop production - as well as reserves of plant and animal genetic resources and as habitat for wildlife.

This prestigious body, formerly established as a State Secretariat and endowed with considerable human and material resources and prerogatives in relation to its missions and its development programme, was forced to abandon the field during the “dark decade” between 1992. -2002 and because of sluggish activities, and was mobilized for the implementation of the rural development programme.

Since then, the sector has faced considerable and even existential challenges: while the pressures on this heritage are steadily increasing, the status, institutional positioning and means of this administration have been progressively reduced under the pressure of budgetary restrictions linked to the decline in oil prices on the one hand, and demands for more substantial contributions to the national economy to meet short-term economic and social needs.

Transferred, sometimes to the Ministry in charge of water and the environment, sometimes to the one in charge of agriculture, whose production missions have priority over conservation, on the one hand, and almost private from means of communication and promotion, on the other hand, the DGF has developed in 2016, for the promotion and structuring of its own action, a "National Forest Strategy to 2035", rich with axes of intervention, but not yet completed.

This long-term objective includes capacity building and it is in this vision that the present twinning project, which has a vocation of institutional reinforcement, will support the implementation of the strategy. Admittedly, institutional twinning is an instrument, a priori

adequate for the conduct of change in a body with strong identity, but the challenges it is supposed to meet, far exceed the aims and means of such an instrument, even of great size.

The needs of the DGF are mainly strategic, institutional positioning, reorganisation, cultural reforms, prestige regained, greatly increased means of communication and promotion, and investment means considerably increased, necessarily extending over several years.

The present twinning project will include traditional activities such as: training, study visits, communication and promotional activities, expertise with deliverables, to be compatible with the duration of the twinning. For the rest, namely: in-depth studies, structural reform plans, strategic reflections ..., the scope of the twinning was planned to support their preparation or framework: diagnoses, recommendations for short and medium term actions, training, training engineering etc.

Funded by the EU, this three-year programme (2010-2013) has the specific objective of improving the economic performance of the agriculture, agri-food and tourism sectors through a higher contribution to economic growth and non-hydrocarbon exports. � Pilot Action Programme for Rural Development and Agriculture - ENPARD:

The objective of the PAP-ENPARD Algeria is to help revitalize rural areas, in order to make them more attractive, by facilitating the emergence of innovative and job-creating rural development projects and by promoting the pooling of resources and local means through a participatory and intersector approach. This revitalization of the territories must make it possible to contribute to the achievement of the general objective: the improvement of living conditions through the increase of income and employment in rural areas, particularly at the level of the wilayas of Ain Temouchent, Laghouat, Tlemcen and Setif.

� Support Programme to Local Sustainable Development and Social Actions of Algeria North-West - PADSEL-NOA:

The general objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of social and economic disparities, thanks to the integrated and sustainable development of the municipalities and wilayas concerned, namely the Wilayas of Saida, Tiaret, Tissemsilt, Ain Defla, Chlef, Medea, located on the Highlands and north-central Algeria.

� Sector Policy Support Programme in the field of Environment - PAPSE

The overall objective of this ongoing programme is to support sector environmental policy in Algeria, with a focus on the metropolitan area of Algiers, with a view to sustainable development. It aims to strengthen the implementation of the Coastal Zone Management Programme of the Algiers Coast (PAC-ZCA), as well as the sectorial capacities of the environment.

� Capacity Building Programme for Local Development Actors -CAPDEL:

This ongoing programme covers 10 municipalities located in the North, South, East and West of Algeria, and aims to promote citizen participation in the planning and implementation of communal policies of public and administrative services, risk management and local economic development, with a view to transparent and concerted communal governance, targeting in particular young people and women. The programme focuses on building local capacity, including NGOs, local authorities and the Ministry of the Interior, for the modernization and simplification of administrative procedures at the local level and for disaster risk prevention and management.

3.4. L IST OF APPLICABLE EU ACQUIS/STANDARDS

Until 1998, the forestry sector was only left to the decision of the Member States, some of which had a long and sometimes prestigious tradition in this field. The European Union's forestry policy then consisted of coordinating MS policies and supplementing them with

14 DZ 17 ENI AG 01 19

Community initiatives, notably through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), in the form of funding for the protection of the environment and programmes for rural development support. .

In 1998, the EU established a first forest strategy (COM(1998) 649 and in 2013 a "New EU Strategy for Forests and the Forest Sector" [COM (2013) 0659]. It serves as a current reference framework for EU MS, while maintaining the principle of subsidiarity, and aims at sustainable forest management as a key pillar of rural development, including the timber sector, but also as a protective factor biodiversity, ecosystem services, and environment in general and fight against climate change via sustainable forest management criteria. A multi-year implementation plan 2014-2020 supports the following components:

- Rural and urban territories; - Competitiveness and sustainability of the timber industry, bioenergy and the green economy as a whole;

- Forests in a changing climate;

- Protection of forests and ecosystem services; - Information and watch on forests;

- Research and innovation; - Work together ;

- Forests from a global perspective.

The CAP, via the EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development), remains the main source of funding for forests. Its Regulation [(EU) No 1305/2013] for the period 2015-2020 contains specific measures on:

- Investments: reforestation, agro forestry systems, fire prevention, resilience and the environmental value of forest ecosystems ...);

- Remuneration of forest, environmental and climate services; - Payments under Natura 2000 or the Water Framework Directive.

Cross-cutting strategies support this sector policy, such as: - the European Principles for the Environment (EEP);

- the Environmental Action Programme (EAP), 2013-2020; - the 2020 Sustainable Development Strategy;

- the initiative "A Europe efficient in the use of resources";

- the EU Biodiversity Strategy [COM (2011) 0244], which calls for sustainable management plans for public forests by 2020.

These actions are framed by a set of EU directives and regulations, some of them of binding: - Council Directive 92/43 / EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (OJ L 206 of 22/7/1992); - Directive 1999/105 / EC on the marketing of forest genetic material;

- Directive 2000/29 / EC on the European phytosanitary regime to control the spread of pests to forests;

3.5. COMPONENTS AND RESULTS PER COMPONENT

The twinning with the DGF foresees the following intervention components and results:

Components Expected results

Component 1: Definition and implementation of a strategy for creating value for forest heritage and products.

A strategy for creating value for forest heritage and products has been defined, promoted and disseminated.

Component 2: Strengthening the Forestry Administration's capacity for strategic leadership and operational efficiency.

The capacity of the Forestry Administration has been strengthened, both in terms of strategic management and operational efficiency.

Component 3: Definition and implementation of a policy for continuous upgrading of skills.

A policy of continuous upgrading of skills has been defined and its implementation planned.

Component 4: Improved implementation of strategic frameworks and management of international conventions.

The implementation of the strategic frameworks and the management of international conventions have been improved.

Component 1: Definition and implementation of a strategy for valuing heritage and forest products. This component is justified by the need of updating the legislative, regulatory and normative framework, with a view to reducing the obstacles to the strategy for valuing forest heritage and products, while respecting the national heritage. The central idea is to concentrate in this twinning the "upstream" public, sovereign and macro-economic aspects (legislation, inventory of resources, sector strategy) and to delegate all or part to the ADSEL-NOA programme, the "downstream" aspects : micro-economic implementation on the ground such as feasibility studies, market studies, business plans, financing plans, business creation support. This component aims in particular to

• Lay the foundations (methodology, actors, financing) of a permanent or semi-permanent inventory of the forest domain and its ecosystem services;

• Define the sector support to be provided, in consultation with all public and private stakeholders;

• Support inclusive implementation in a perspective of sustainable local development, a pilot project in each sector: AMP, wood, ecotourism, nurseries ..., in view of restoration and maintenance of ecosystems;

17 DZ 17 ENI AG 01 19

• Identify the obstacles to unlock the potentials of individual sustainable initiatives, coming from the private sector or associations, in consultation with all public and private stakeholders;

• Lay the foundations for long-term partnerships between DGF and Algerian and European educational and research institutions;

• Involve various stakeholders (DGF, MADRP, other administrations, local authorities, the private sector, ongoing projects such as PASDEL-NOA) in the definition of mechanisms for setting up value chains and forest resources development;

• Implement the field-level policy in synergy with the EU-funded local economic and social development programme PADSEL-NOA, which has strong complementarities of aims and means with the present twinning: presence of TA, availability of a supply contract, planned intervention by ANSEJ and CNAC, existence of a support component for the creation of businesses in the agricultural and forestry sector, possible use of private expertise ;

• Contribute to sustainable and inclusive local development; • Improve knowledge of forest products valorisation mechanisms in some EU Member

States. Component 2: Strengthening the Forestry Administration's capacity for strategic leadership and operational efficiency. This component has the objectives to:

• Promote and disseminate the "National Forest Strategy 2035". • Support the DGF in the development of performance indicators to develop the

necessary framework for monitoring and evaluation of strategic objectives included in the forestry strategy

• Better define the missions of the DGF and of a functional, human and material target organisation, including the main stakeholders (sovereign power, offices and EPIC, networks, local authorities, associations and civil society), with the aim of providing a modern tool for strategic decision support and management.

This component will be implemented in coherence with the public service system which is framed by:

o Ordinance No. 06-03 of 15 July 2006 on the General Statute of the Civil Service, which determines the statutory rules applicable to civil servants and the fundamental guarantees granted to them in the exercise of their duties in the service of the public service. State

o Executive Decree No. 16-244 of 22 September 2016 establishing the organization of the central administration of the General Directorate of Forests;

o Executive Decree No. 11-127 of 22 March 2011 on the special status of civil servants belonging to the specific bodies of the forest administration.

• Strengthen the strategic, decision-making and management capacity of the DGF through more efficient, more operational and more systematic use of GIS.

• Improve the management of the networks of the DGF (Communication, RNOOA, Forest Health, Botany, etc.) and inter-network links.

• Provide the DGF with an internal communication strategy (between central services and deconcentrated services), and external (aimed at the Ministry of Agriculture, other ministries, the civil society: associations and NGOs, naturalist networks and the general public), and internationally (conventions, publications).

• Share European good practices in terms of territorial forest organisation. • Ensuring coherence with the SNAT and international commitments of Algeria

• Improve and develop DGF image and promote its missions towards all institutions, government, public administrations, business, social and environmental circles, civil society, citizens…

Component 3: Definition and implementation of a policy for continuous upgrading of skills. Training courses for forest sector managers are organised by the Training Sub-Directorate within the DGF, in training institutions, which provide, in addition to their statutory function, in-service training, workshops… The National Forest School (ENAF) in Batna is responsible for training Brigade Inspectors. Two training centres for specialised forestry technical agents (CFATSF) are located in the wilayas of Medea and Jijel. Their main mission is to train forest protection officers. This component aims in particular to:

• Lay the foundations for a strategy to perfect the current organisation of initial and ongoing training of DGF agents, and more broadly of the forest industry: state of play and initial diagnosis, current and prospective needs, target audiences , objectives, results to be achieved, sources of funding, origin and profile of teachers, training techniques and tools, links DGF / Research / University, evaluation of results, programming techniques, obligation to train for the beneficiaries of training.

• Integrate innovative contents and best teaching practices into one or more forestry education centres of a EU Member State, with a view to improving the quality of forestry training.

• Define and set up a training of trainers. Component 4: Improved implementation of strategic frameworks and management of international conventions. The DGF is the manager of several international conventions ratified by Algeria and as such, must show proven expertise and will thus constantly adapt their application at the national plan. This component will have to meet the needs of the DGF in this area by focusing on:

• Improving the effectiveness of national management of international conventions. • The best means for the transposition into national law of international conventions

signed by Algeria. • Access to international financial resources for the implementation of conventions at

the national level and thus have the ability to set up projects that are financeable and receivable.

• The definition of a status of the Focal Points (FP): role, recruitment and appointment conditions, powers, mission terms of reference, duration of mandate, periodic information meetings, etc.

• Training of trainers on international negotiations for the implementation of multilateral agreements and access to global financial resources.

In addition to monitoring the implementation of activities during quarterly meetings of the Steering Committee (COPIL), it is planned to organise horizontal activities aimed at ensuring the visibility of the project. Three cross-cutting activities are planned, regardless of the four results. They will have to be implemented at critical moments, throughout the implementation of the project. Those are (inter alia):

Project Steering CommitteeProject Steering CommitteeProject Steering CommitteeProject Steering Committee

A project steering committee (PSC) shall oversee the implementation of the project. The main duties of the PSC include verification of the progress and achievements via-à-vis the mandatory results/outputs chain (from mandatory results/outputs per component to impact), ensuring good coordination among the actors, finalising the interim reports and discuss the updated work plan. Other details concerning the establishment and functioning of the PSC are described in the Twinning Manual.

ReportingReportingReportingReporting

All reports shall have a narrative section and a financial section. They shall include as a minimum the information detailed in section 5.5.2 (interim reports) and 5.5.3 (final report) of the Twinning Manual. Reports need to go beyond activities and inputs. Two types of reports are foreseen in the framework of Twining: interim quarterly reports and final report. An interim quarterly report shall be presented for discussion at each meeting of the PSC. The narrative part shall primarily take stock of the progress and achievements via-à-vis the mandatory results and provide precise recommendations and corrective measures to be decided by in order to ensure the further progress.

8. SUSTAINABILITY

At the level of the implementation of field activities (Intervention Component 1), the objective of exploiting natural resources to capture in situ the added value within the value chain, must not make forget the long-term conservation objectives, which are structural in nature and which by their nature aim to be sustainable.

The sustainability of Twinning activities should therefore appear in the fact that the targeted economic growth does not induce an imbalance in terms of natural resources (subject, inter alia, of Intervention Component No. 2), nor in terms of social and cultural life, and fits well within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and International Conventions signed by Algeria (subject, inter alia, of the Intervention Component 4).

In this context, the transversal concepts of sustainability to be taken into account for the action, aimed at ensuring the sustainability of twinning activities, are as follows:

• global public goods; • precautionary principle; • minimizing the "ecological footprint"; • proceeding with an inclusive approach of "sustainable development actors", in

particular by implementing the "Free Prior Informed consent (FPIC)".

In terms of project implementation, the sustainability of the project will be ensured by a process of dual involvement of both teams, on the one hand, of the Member State, on the other hand of the beneficiary country. The level of internal mobilisation of the DGF will be a determining factor of the risk of non-ownership of the project at the implementation stage. At

27 DZ 17 ENI AG 01 19

first sight, the DGF's absorption capacity seems compatible with the envisaged twinning dimension.

During implementation of planned activities/measures, the project will take into account of all relevant rules regarding the organisation of the public administration. This will allow avoiding more fragmentation.

During training implementation, the project will ensure liaison and coordination with the central administration (Human Resources and Training sub-direction) in charge of training. The latter ensures planning and follow-up of the training plan, which is conducted by DGF training institutes (see 3.5/component 3). Consequently the twinning project will also contribute to reinforce the capacities of this department.

9. CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES

Equal opportunitiesEqual opportunitiesEqual opportunitiesEqual opportunities

Rights Based Approach (RBA) concerns respect of all human rights in the development cooperation of the EU.

The Commission adopted in 2014 a "tool-box-a Rights-Based Approach, encompassing all human rights for EU development cooperation" to operationalise the Rights Based Approach. The tool box was welcomed by the Council and the EU reiterates this commitment with specific actions to integrate an RBA into all EU development instruments and activities. The main principles i) Applying all rights ii) Participation iii) Non-discrimination iv) Accountability and v) Transparency –must be applied at each step of a project from drafting to implementation and monitoring. Consequently all proposals to this call should be conceived in the respect of RBA.

The equality of women and men in all areas, political, economic, social ... is not only a defining human rights goal, but it is also a means to more effectively achieve "sustainable development" by integrating equality in public policies, as in the initiatives of civil society actors.

The men and women of the DGF, as well as the secondary beneficiaries, having a priori equal opportunities to participate in Twinning activities, the development and implementation of the project will be conducted taking into account exclusively the attributions and missions of the DGF staff, according to their capacity, without gender discrimination (see next paragraph).

Gender issuesGender issuesGender issuesGender issues

Every EU financed action must contribute to the main objective of the Action Plan “Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: Transforming the Lives of Girls and Women through EU External Relations 2016-2020”. MS proposals will have to set up reports based on results taking into account "SMART" indicators classified by gender and focusing on Action Plan priorities: physical and psychological integrity of girls and women, autonomy, consultation and participation. Where possible, proposals will demonstrate innovative approaches or methods based on needs and challenges of target groups, living in far areas and/or promote development and strengthening of local networks (associations and stakeholders) which could ensure implementation at regional level.

Gender issues address social relations between men and women, including power relations, status, differences in social hierarchy in economic development activities: distribution of daily tasks, household management, resource allocation, access to credit , to the land, inheritance system, freedom of speech and representation ... Despite the existence of legal frameworks that promote or establish the equality of women and men in different capacities, women generally do not necessarily benefit the same real rights as men and suffer here and there discriminations related to customs and traditions.

In terms of development, the Gender approach is intended to be cross-cutting, that is to say, it promotes equal rights for men and women, for example, on the sharing of responsibilities, on access to education, spaces of expression and power, or productive capacities.

In Algeria, in the many mountainous and forest areas, rural areas still depend heavily on natural resources, particularly forest resources (wood products, NWFPs, etc.). Women generally have a status that forces them to do daily tasks that are sometimes difficult such as collecting water, firewood, cooking, housework ... If within the family, it can be listened to and also have a leading role of decision, it is not always the case in the social life, economic affairs, community affairs.

A practical way of promoting gender in a project is to promote women's participation in different levels of consultation and decision-making at the methodological level, this approach is in any case positive in nature, because it enriches the points of view and thus enables a more objective understanding of the reality, as well as the more relevant identification of the propositions and solutions.

With regard to the present twinning, the implementation of the intervention components, geared mainly towards capacity building for the staff of the DGF, can already adopt the principle of a systematic participation of women in the meetings of reflection and decision, as it is indeed already the case.

The intervention component n ° 1 on the promotion of the mechanisms of valorisation of the forest products, is a certain opportunity to promote the entrepreneurship, both feminine and masculine, in the sectors of production which will be identified, like the PAMS, ecotourism , the nurseries ... The planned cooperation with PADSEL-NOA for the implementation of the pilot projects in the field will reinforce this opportunity to promote a greater role of women as economic operators of the rural world.

Intervention Component n ° 2 on the implementation of a policy of continuous improvement of skills at the DGF, is also a great opportunity to put the concepts of "Gender" in the training of trainers and to enable women greater ease of access to the various levels of responsibility.

By nature, the reinforcement twinning of the DGF / MADRP intervenes in a context of conservation of the environment. The purpose of forest management and conservation is a fundamental pillar of the country's environmental and rural development policy. But the unstable climatic context of the Mediterranean / sub-Saharan zone on the one hand, and the strong pressure on natural resources by the rural populations living in poverty on the other hand, make Algeria a fragile country in terms of maintaining ecosystems, ecosystem services and productive sectors.

In this respect, development projects that concern the forest sector should not fail to analyse their impacts on the environment and on socio-economic and cultural aspects, particularly through the ad hoc tools that are strategic environmental and social assessment (applicable to value chain approaches or regional approaches), and the environmental and social impact assessment (applicable to the project approach). This would, among other things:

• for environmental aspects, to integrate the issues of global warming, fight against desertification, conservation of biodiversity ...;

• for socio-economic and cultural aspects, to integrate the issues of income diversification, improvement of living conditions, fight against poverty, gender...

• ensure that each project activity will have positive ecological impact in its environment

• search for the development of innovative activities and up cycling • Proceed according to an inclusive approach of sustainable development stakeholders

by implementing “Free Prior Informed consent (FPIC)", thus applying participative approach in decision making.
